Nashville Tenn Jan the 13th 1863
Dear Mother I again sit down to write
you a few lines to let you know that I
am still in the land of the living and am
getting better I do not feel any sick but my
knees is so weak that I can scarcely walk but
I am gaining Strength every day I think that
I will Start to the reg the first of next
week I do not know here it is but it is
Somewhere in the vicinity of Murfreesboro they
are looking for another fight out there some of
these days I think that I will get to see
this one if Nothing happens the report is that
the rebels have Concentrated all their forces
and are going to try and whip us here or
at Murfreesboro the report is that our Men
are Fortifying and going to give them the best
we have in the Shop I saw 12 privates and one
rebel officers fetched into the Penitentiary to day
they had plenty of Clothes and looked fat
and hearty I have never saw any of their
Naked half Starved Men yet that we
read about in the papers I have not got
any letters from home Since the day before
Christmas I would be uneasy but none
